Chapter 388:

Looking at the huge round mountain pass, Freya's eyes froze slightly.

"That's a volcano?"

"That's right." Ciri walked over to her and whispered. "That's the largest volcano ever discovered in the City of Illusions, Mount Ansabela, and it's not often that this volcano is shrouded in white mist, and it's not often that all of it appears like this."

"Oh."

She nodded, her gaze sweeping around.

There is not a trace of white clouds in the clear sky, and under the blue sky, above the snow-capped mountains, Freya can see the snow-white towers erected from time to time.

Illuminated by the early morning sun, these towers glow a faint white light and smell of holiness.

"It's a guard tower, it's nice to be able to build it at that height." She let out a sigh of admiration.

Although she didn't see much from below, Freya knew that it would not be easy to build something on top of a snow-capped mountain of this height.

Moreover, there are still so many that a snow-white tower appears almost every other distance.

"It's okay." Ciri took out some special forage and magic stones from the cart and fed them to the two white horses. "I guess we'll be there at noon."

"Hmm."

Freya said yes and then stopped talking, quietly feeling the beautiful scenery of the northern snowfield.

There is not a trace of energy pollution in the air at all, it is all a natural and clean smell.

This kind of environment is very rare on the side of the Blood Eagle Lord, even though there are several purification towers erected in the headquarters to filter day and night. But there's still a weird feeling in the air.

After a brief rest of more than ten minutes, the carriage set off again.

Six hours later.

On the snow-capped mountains where white and black intersect, two tiny figures are like ants, slowly climbing upwards one after the other.

From time to time, a little rolling stone falls under his feet.

Although the weather was exceptionally good, the cold wind around me still cut everything like a sharp knife.

Freya straightened the white velvet hat on her head, her eyelashes and hair on her forehead covered with a thin layer of white.

She looked down.

The bottom of the snow-capped mountain was already blurred, and only a tiny black line could be seen extending into the depths of the mountains, which was the road they had been driving on.

According to the height of this snow-capped mountain, their current position is only one-third of the distance of the snow-capped mountain.

And Ciri said that it will take at least half an hour to reach the destination.

The dry and cold temperatures made Freya a little uncomfortable. Although there is a thermostatic charm on the clothes, I don't feel cold. But after all, the king snake is also a cold-blooded animal in a sense, and it was fine under the snowy mountain before, but now with the increase in altitude, the temperature is getting lower and lower, even she is a little uncomfortable.

And with this altitude and wind power, there are no dedicated flying props. Witchcraft alone can't reach it safely.

Gently inhale the cold air. Freya moved forward again.

Half an hour later. In front of a natural hidden cave in the middle of a snowy mountain.

The figures of Freya and Ciri slowly appeared.

Ciri walked over to the cave wall next to it and patted it gently.

'Smack. ’

A faint white light flashed in her hand, and a gentle hissing sound faintly came from the depths of the cave.

"Alright, let's go inside." Ciri, who heard the voice, turned around and said lightly. "It was originally a deserted transit point for the family. However, it was used by adults to transform it into his own private teleportation place. ”

Without speaking, Freya nodded.

At this time, they did not go to the Crane family, but to the personal residence he had set up.

There was no objection to this, she had come for the purpose of Cranet's library, and she had little interest in his family, Freya.

The two paused and walked towards the cave.

It didn't take long for the entire cave to empty up, and a faint burning sensation mixed with the smell of sulfur came out of the cave.

Not far in front of the cave passage was a reddish color, and there was a faint rumbling sound of the river rolling.

There is also a wide lava river hidden here.

Ciri stepped forward with a blank face and snapped his fingers lightly.

In front of the originally empty cave, black stone slabs automatically flew onto the lava river, forming a pitch-black air passage.

Once the slab was fully secured, Ciri stepped onto the slab and walked into the depths.

And Freya behind her followed.

Stepping on the floating stone slab, Freya glanced underneath, the churning lava river with the scorching heat made her hair rise slightly, and in this lava river, she actually saw a long crimson figure emerging from the lava river, as if some creature passed through this river.

Seeing the figure, Freya raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Are there volcanic insects living here? ”

Not far away, Ciri could only faintly see a dark shadow, and Freya followed closely when she retracted her gaze.

Crossing the lava river, several more staggered passages were passed.

Twenty minutes later, the two finally arrived in front of a dilapidated stone house.

Gently pushing open the door of the stone house, the two of them walked in together.

There is nothing in the stone house, except for a blue pool of water in the middle.

The pool glows softly, sparkling and reflected on the walls of the stone house.

Freya, who saw this pool, found at a glance that this thing was the kind of teleportation pool in the previous toy room, but I didn't expect that Crane, who was an official member, would actually move this here.

Ciri walked over to the teleportation pool, narrowed her eyes slightly, took a black crystal from her waist and threw it into the pool, and then muttered a spell.

The calm pool immediately erupted with a little spray, and then subsided.

"Okay, I've already revised the coordinates, you just jump down, I still have something to report at home, so I won't be with you."

"Okay."

Freya stepped forward and was about to jump off, when Ciri next to her grabbed the hem of her clothes violently, and her face looked a little serious.

"It's the most secret thing an adult. Hope not to disappoint him. ”

Hearing this, Freya immediately understood what Ciri meant, and she turned her head to smile slightly.

"Of course, we're friends."

"Well, remember what you said."

Nodding slightly, Ciri took a step back and looked at Freya with a calm gaze.

The latter paused, and then jumped into the pool with a 'poof'.

A familiar dullness came over her, and Freya opened her eyes and looked up to see Ciri's figure still beside the pool. Didn't leave.

And underneath her. It is a large black hole with inexplicable suction.

Soon, her figure disappeared directly into the black hole.

'Wow-'

Blue water splashed in all directions, in a wooden room. Freya's figure jerked out of the pool.

Arm bracing. Straight out of the pool.

She clapped her hands. The soaked clothes suddenly rose with a large white mist, and after a while, they became dry.

After a moment's notice, she pushed open the door to her room.

'Whew'

A warm breeze blew the hem of her dress slightly. Only then did she find herself in a valley full of spring.

A faint white mist lingered in the valley.

As far as the eye can see, the land is covered with small yellow and white flowers, and a cobblestone path stretches deep into the mist.

Freya swept around, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"This feeling? Is it a secret realm that is independent? ”

After thinking about it, she gently raised her right hand, and a little green light faintly shone between the fingers of her index finger.

'Whew! ’

The light shot into the sky like a ray.

After a long time, she withdrew her fingers, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"I didn't expect it to be a secret realm, the richness of this guy Crane is comparable to that of a weaker large wizarding organization, and the area of this secret realm"

Her testing of witchcraft had confirmed that the space in the valley was as large as it was naturally formed.

Thinking of all her possessions, Freya couldn't help but smile wryly.

"No wonder Ciri has that kind of expression, now that Cryant has opened up the permission for me, which means that I can take any item out here, this level of trust."

She didn't know if Cryant didn't care, or if he was simply reassured of her.

If it were other wizards with impure minds, I'm afraid they would have all been swept away long ago.

Sighing softly, she slowly sank into the white mist ahead of her along the cobblestone path beneath her feet.

The white mist around was slowly rolling, and a huge black figure hidden in the fog could be faintly seen, and the aura was terrifying, and Freya knew that it was the guard that Crane had set up in the secret realm.

On both sides of the pebbles are small pale yellow flowers, and in the center of the small flowers are smiling faces like children, which look very cute.

However, Freya didn't have the curiosity to pick it, and she vaguely felt in her heart that this small flower was very dangerous, and if she did it rashly, I was afraid that something bad would happen.

"I don't know from which ruins the ancient plant was found."

Crane's profession was more of an archaeologist or tomb robber than a wizard, and he often wandered through various ancient ruins and tombs.

And for this purpose, he also formed his own squad.

From before Freya knew him, it seemed that he didn't know how many years he had been doing, and the precious things accumulated over so many years can be imagined, which is very terrifying.

Walking on the path, Freya couldn't help but maliciously think that if the passage of this secret realm was exposed, then the northern snow field or the entire fantasy capital would probably set off a chaotic storm.

After walking for about half an hour, in front of Freya, a red wooden door erected alone suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

The wooden door was slightly open, and there was no fence next to it, as if it had been placed there out of thin air.

She walked over to the wooden door and gently pushed it open.

'Squeak'

The door opened, and behind the door, under the blue sky was a turquoise grassland.

The wild wind made the grassland ripple like ocean waves, and in the distance of the grassland, there were some huge creatures faintly moving.

It was a herd of white deer with exaggerated horns, crisscrossed by antlers like two big trees, huge in size and with some dark yellow spots, almost more than three meters high, in groups, eating grass comfortably.

Next to the herd of deer is a black building, as if it was made of various pieces of iron and mud, and two tall chimneys at the top of the chimney from time to time emitted gray-black smoke rings.

Around the building, various windmills are erected, and the huge fan blades rotate slowly, making a slight 'crunch, crunch' sound.

Standing in the doorway, Freya's eyes narrowed slightly, and the strange building faintly gave her the impression that she was a living creature.

"The two windows are like eyes, the red wooden door is the mouth, and the chimney and the tentacles of the creature are like a lying black worm, this aesthetic"

She looked around, and there was nothing but the abrupt wooden door in front of her.

After thinking about it, Freya stepped through the wooden door and immediately felt a fresh bitter taste.

Removing her velvet hat from her head and letting the wind blow through her hair, Freya headed straight for the odd building.

When she came to the door that looked like a worm's mouth, she reached out and grabbed the yellow doorknob and pushed it open.

'Bell bell bell'

A crisp sound suddenly sounded, it was a delicate, colorful wind chime hanging next to the door.

Freya looked up and saw that in the middle of the wind chimes was a little girl puppet with black hair.

Wearing a black robe and black gloves, he was vaguely familiar.

"Isn't this Muppet Ciri?" She looked at the puppet with a strange look in her eyes, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

Retracting her gaze, Freya pushed the door open.

Inside, it was a mess of strange objects and huge toys piled up around the room, and she even saw a hanger with old robes and cobwebbed socks.

In the innermost part of the room, like a hall, you can faintly see a sofa and a fireplace, and the walls are covered with various maps.

Most of these maps appear to be blueprints of underground ruins.

The crimson floor was covered with white dust, and I don't know how long it had been since this guy had been here to clean.

Freya walked inside around a black-and-white sculpture that looked like a giant stone statue next to her.

On one side of the hall is a spiral staircase leading upstairs, again covered in dust and cobwebs.

Next to the staircase was a crooked wooden sign nailed to the handrail, with a large text written on it.

"Kleant's private library, no one should enter it, especially Polly!!" Freya unconsciously read out the words on the wooden card.

"Polly?" She was slightly stunned. "Seems to be the name of a parrot."

However, seeing the library, Freya walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

'Smack! ’

Stepping on the floor of the second floor immediately stirred up a layer of dust, Freya swept around, and found that the second floor was almost the size of a small library.

The black bookshelves are neatly arranged, filled with all kinds of books, and they are much cleaner and tidier than the first floor.

The windows on both sides of the library are open, and the sunlight is shining inside, which is very comfortable.

Just as Freya walked to the nearest bookshelf and casually looked at the books here, suddenly, the window on the left side suddenly darkened.

Then a large yellow eye appeared in front of Freya. (To be continued......)
